    Even if the right to protest is guaranteed for that country’s citizens you are not citizens.

    Doesn’t the Constitution protect all people in the land, not just citizens?

      It’s somewhat tricky, it refers to ‘the people’ or ‘persons’, but some things don’t make sense if you apply it to non-citizens. There’s been cases to establish how it applies in regards to specific amendments, but I haven’t heard of something coming up that definitively established whether that applies for the right to assemble.
